Official Title: Nuclear Abnormalities in Gingival Epithelial Cells in Relation to Periodontal Disease Severity and Glycemic Control
Brief Summary:
Diabetes mellitus and periodontitis are two highly prevalent chronic diseases with a well-established bidirectional relationship.Poor glycemic control has been associated with increased periodontal inflammation and disease progression, while periodontal disease may adversely affect metabolic control in individuals with diabetes.Gingival epithelial cells, characterized by a high turnover rate, may reflect early nuclear and cellular alterations related to chronic inflammatory and metabolic conditions.The purpose of…
